Manifold V3153 Triumph Six Cylinder

[martyn wright]

Hi!  Does anybody know if this Manifold would fit a 1600/6 ?   The  Numbers are:  308671   V3153  001 please?

[Pete Lewis]

shows a mk2 gt6  so if a  MkII  engine  it is a very different porting to the 1600/Mk1   engines

Thanks Pete!  Didnt think to look on Canleys!    Am looking for one to fit on my 1600/6 to allow me to fit a Brake Servo?

Forget the brake servo, buy yourself a pair of traditional divers boots and your brake will work brilliantly.

lot simpler fit mintex 1144 pads but needs a search if you are still on type 12 small calipers of the 1600

So is it worth changing the Calipers to 14s?  but I already have a Servo??

[Pete Lewis]

14 give you a far better range of pad specifications   and should fit on the same carrier  16s needs a bigger mount with wider hole spacings 

all 2ltr used 16s   never 14s they were herald/spitty 

may find the hub needs abit of a chamfer to clear the caliper nothing you cant shave a bit off with a angle grinder

have a picture but its on my desktop 

and on the manifold hunt you need one from a mk1 2 ltr

Have a look through the forum as I posted about Mintex 1144 pads for type 12 calipers.
I bought some from Rally Design (?) and they are specced for a Lotus Elite I believe.
Anyway I did put it all down in writing somewhere on here.

And if I use the search engine myself I find my old post here
